[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here...thank you--but somewhat discouraging news. [/quote]

OP, I'd say half the kids at our JKLM school are "gifted," so I wouldn't sweat it.  Just because DCPS doesn't haven't a program doesn't mean that he won't be in school with kids at the same level.  You'll be surprised.[/quote]

Gifted by what measure? [/quote]

Not PP, but many parents have their kids take the IQ tests just in case they decide on private school instead; so they know whether the child tests in the gifted ranges. Others have educational batteries done for learning disabilities, which also gives IQ scores. Also many at least look into CTY even if they decide not to pay for any of the programming, so that is another measure for parents. I certainly have not asked what other kids IQs are, but knowing my child's scores and comparing DCs work to classmates, DC is not alone by a long shot. Also I do know some who are doing CTY because the child has a particular interest, so that is another way to know. [/quote]
